Dr Kegg: yep, these are mine. I picked them up a couple of years ago when I first learned of such a thing. JHinton: I'll have to go and take a...
I started to put together a fractional type set a while ago but got a bit side tracked after a short time. I discovered that there were uncut bits...
Thanks gbroke!
Thanks MedoraMan, I did know the story of that type of coin but thanks for putting just the same in case anyone didn't happen to know. I was...
Thanks Hobo and Morgan! It does look great in hand, and that's why I was so suspicious to begin with. Just knew something was a little off.
You must be talking about the reverse of the coin when referring to the rims. That's just uneven bits of paper hanging over the coin (the coin is...
Hi all! I just wanted to throw this one up to get everyone's take on it. I bought this a few years ago at the biggest garage sale in the world...
65 from me as well
I have. I have a Dansco type set that I cracked a couple of coins for. I just took some pliers and cracked around the edge enough to pull the...

Before the mods do lock this up, to shed some light on the situation, my ex wife worked at Winn-Dixie (grocery chain in the south) for a while...
I did know. That's why I got the Thomas Jefferson coin. A founding father as well as a great mind, plus one of my favorite depictions of...
I think shiny! I'd probably have to say it's a high 63 or a 64. The back looks beautiful, the front has a few marks, but none really on her...
This is sort of an off topic reply, but hopefully might shed a bit of hope to the original poster. A friend of mine sent her wedding and...
Usually the proof franklins look pretty lifeless and boring, but that one is just stunning. Congrats on the find/win!
I'd say it's an AU, but I can definitely see some striations. I'd have to say it was cleaned with something abbrasive at some point. It's not...
That size comparison is great. I've never really put one next to another coin, except maybe a gold dollar at one point, which then makes the two...
